WAB always has had unusually strict rules about links, and it's still a thriving community, so the system obviously works. I guess if I need to post a link about a bug species, I'll have to advertise our "competitors" instead!

Don't go, Arp - that won't help anyone.

I very much agree with you Joe, I appreciate that consistent moderation of something like WAB is diifcult, although I did resent the suggestion that I was merely using the forum to promote the site. It's not my fault if it's popular

I shall certainly continue to contribute to WAB, as I feel that helping and encouraging people to identify and appreciate insects is important. As you say, there are now plenty of other websites
